Definitions
- the present application relates to seat belt systems.
- the present application relates generally to the field of retractors for use in occupant restraint systems (e.g., seatbelt systems).
- seat belt systems include a retracting or winding device to retract or wind up any excess amount of seat belt webbing that has been extended after the seat belt is latched.
- These seat belt retractors may also include a mechanism (e.g., a motor) for winding up the seat belt and for controlling the tension of the seat belt when the seat belt is being worn by the occupant of the vehicle.
- the motorized retractor may be configured to operate in both directions to wind and unwind the belt.
- the retractor system may also include a pre-tensioning device (e.g., a pyrotechnic driven device) for tensioning the seat belt.
- the retractor may also include an energy absorbing mechanism.
- Current Energy Absorbing (EA) retractors are not capable of cancelling the EA function in certain situations where it would be beneficial for the EA function to be disabled such as in low offset impact events where the occupant should preferably be restrained from further movement.
- Certain existing retractors have stoppers that engage to stop the EA function after a predetermined number of spool rotations. These types of retractors are typically used in rear seat applications where no airbags are present.
- EA cancelling device or mechanism that could be used for front seat applications where many factors such as seat position, occupant size and the presence of airbags need to be accounted for.
- a wedge member is provided to contact both the spool and the retractor frame and thereby prevent any movement of the spool.
- the wedge member is driven into a position against both the spool and the frame (i.e., wedged between) where all movement of the spool is prevented.
- the wedge may be driven by a pyrotechnic device or another suitable method such as a solenoid, electromagnet or motor.
- other spool locking devices could be used such as, for example, a pawl, cam, locking rollers, belt band or brake type system.
- the disclosed exemplary embodiments are representative of a retractor system that offers the ability to selectively cancel the energy absorbing function of a retractor during or just prior to a crash event where the EA function is not required for occupant safety.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a vehicle showing an occupant restraint system in the form of a seatbelt assembly having a retractor according to an exemplary embodiment.
- FIG. 2 is a side view of a seat belt retractor including a device or structure for cancelling the energy absorbing function of the retractor.
- FIG. 3 is a partial top view of the retractor of FIG. 2 .
- FIG. 4 is a cutaway side view of the retractor of FIG. 2 prior to activation of the EA cancelling device.
- FIG. 5 is a side view of the retractor of FIG. 2 after activation of the EA cancelling device but prior to locking of a spool of the retractor.
- FIG. 6 is a side view of the retractor of FIG. 2 with the retractor spool in a locked condition.
- FIG. 7 is a side view of a retractor showing alternative embodiment of an EA cancelling device.
- FIG. 8 is a side view of a retractor showing another alternative embodiment of an EA cancelling device.
- FIG. 9 is a side view of the retractor of FIG. 8 with the retractor spool in a locked condition.
- the energy absorbing (EA) devices are configured to limit the chest deflection (or displacement) and compression of the occupant.
- FIG. 1 discloses an exemplary seat belt system 10 .
- the seat belt system 10 is used within a vehicle to help restrain the movement of an occupant 11 during a sudden acceleration, typically resulting from a dynamic impact event of the vehicle.
- the term acceleration refers to the absolute value of the acceleration that the vehicle experiences, whether negative (e.g., deceleration) or positive.
- the seat belt system 10 includes a webbing or belt 12 , a buckle 14 , a tongue member 16 to engage the buckle 14 , an anchor member 18 , and a retractor 20 .
- the retractor 20 may lock the webbing from extracting or unwinding, which restricts movement of the occupant.
- the seat belt system 10 may include one or more sensors (not shown) configured to detect a sudden acceleration of the vehicle.
- the acceleration sensor(s) is configured to send a signal to a controller for the retractor 20 .
- the controller may be configured to activate the retractor as appropriate depending on whether the sensor detects a low or high acceleration event.
- a seat belt retractor 20 may include a retractor frame 50 that supports a spool 40 that carries the belt webbing 12 .
- the retractor 20 may include an energy absorbing device (e.g., a torsion bar 48 ) that is connected to the spool 40 at a first end and may be located along the rotational axis of the spool.
- an energy absorbing device e.g., a torsion bar 48
- an opposite, second end of the torsion bar 48 may be locked by a locking device.
- the first end of the torsion bar 48 remains free to rotate with the spool 40 .
- the torsion bar 48 twists to absorb energy.
- the energy absorbing (EA) function of the retractor 20 continues due to the twisting of the torsion bar 48 until the torsion bar 48 hits its maximum deformation or until the spool 40 is locked to prevent further rotation as described herein.
- the spool 40 may be locked to prevent further rotation by providing an EA cancelling device or structure.
- the EA cancelling device may include a wedge shaped locking member 80 and an activation device 70 .
- the wedge 80 includes teeth for engaging with the spool 40 .
- the activation device 70 may be a pyrotechnic device that includes a gas generator 74 (for example, a micro gas generator (MGG) and a piston 72 .
- the spool 40 may include an outwardly protracting flange 45 that is engaged by the wedge 80 when the EA cancelling device is activated.
- the retractor frame 50 may include a portion containing teeth 55 that is shaped and positioned to engage with the spool flange 45 .
- the activation device 70 is triggered causing the gas generator 74 to activate.
- the piston 72 is driven into the wedge 80 causing the wedge 80 and its associated teeth to engage the spool flange 45 (see FIG. 5 ).
- the wedge 80 is drawn along with the spool 40 further wedging in a position between the spool flange 45 and the retractor frame 50 .
- the spool 40 becomes displaced in a direction opposite of the wedge 80 .
- the spool flange 45 makes contact with the retractor frame 50 .
- the flange 45 contacts the toothed portion 55 of the retractor frame and is locked in position thereby preventing further rotation of the spool 40 and ceasing all energy absorption through the twisting for the torsion bar 48 .
- FIG. 7 discloses an alternative embodiment of a seat belt retractor 200 .
- the retractor 200 includes an EA cancelling device or structure that includes the activation device 70 and a band brake 220 .
- the band brake 220 comprises a flexible band that surrounds a large portion of a flange of the spool. As shown in FIG. 7 , the band 220 surrounds more than 50 percent of the circumference of the spool.
- the band 220 may be fixed to the retractor frame 50 at one end 224 .
- the second end 222 of the band 220 is aligned proximate to the piston 72 of the activation device 70 .
- the piston 72 drives the second end 222 of the band 200 to cause the band to cinch tightly around the spool 40 , or spool flange 45 , thereby causing the rotation of the spool 40 to be stopped. As a result, further energy absorption (e.g., via twisting for the torsion bar 48 ) is prevented.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 depict another alternative embodiment of a retractor 300 with an EA cancelling mechanism.
- the retractor 300 includes the activation device 70 and a pawl 310 , which is pivotally mounted on the retractor frame 50 .
- the pawl 310 is positioned to engage with the piston 72 of the activation device 70 .
- the piston 72 drives the pawl 310 to rotate toward the spool 40 .
- the pawl 310 engages with the spool or the spool flange which may include teeth 47 for engaging with corresponding one or more teeth on the pawl.
- further rotation of the spool 40 is stopped. As a result, further energy absorption (e.g., via twisting for the torsion bar 48 ) is prevented.
- the retractor further includes a locking mechanism and may include a pretensioner.
- exemplary locking mechanisms are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 7,946,519 (which is incorporated by reference herein).
- the application discloses a seat belt retractor including a spool for winding and unwinding a seat belt webbing and a mechanism for absorbing energy resulting from an occupant's interaction with the belt webbing.
- the retractor includes a device for selectively cancelling the energy absorbing mechanism.
- the EA cancelling device may include a suitable structure for locking the spool in order to prevent rotation of the spool in the unwinding direction.
- Such structures include, for example, a gas generator that drives operation of a wedge, pawl or cinching band.
